Blue hair pulled back, the woman is dressed in blue top with green undersleeve and green flowing skirt. She looks back over her right shoulder as she cradles a orange bowl in her right hand. Below is a low horizon of mountains surrounding a blue lake with a tree with one green leaf, right. Leaves fly above in open background in fall colors.
